How to END Acne and get CLEAR skin.

So you have acne? and you think there is nothing you can do about it? Well you're wrong, you can fix that problem right now! are you ready to take the steps?

The steps I will provide produce a synergistic effect which will combine the internal and external factors to achieve clear skin. The ingredients I name are widely available, I have provided links at the bottom of the article where you can find all these products at the best possible prices from amazon.

1) Get your inside under control- one of the main factors leading to acne is inflammation running wild inside your body, this is the first essential step to get under control. First, take the bad stuff out... stop eating the fried foods and consuming soda. Next, put the good stuff in...this is probably the most important! *Spirulina*. This is a superfood containing high levels of anit-inflammatory GLA fatty acids, which have a calming and balancing effect on the internal components of your skin. You see acne pimples are soo inflamed that most of the time the creams your putting on your face can't penetrate to the interior to fight the infection. Additionally spirulina gives your skin cells the nutrition they need to help clear the infection. You should be taking about 9 grams of Spirulina per day, for the best effects.

2) Clear away the outer plug- This starts when you are washing your face. The dead skin cells on the outer layer of your skin have combined with your sebum to form a sticky plug that covers your pore and prevents acne medication from reaching your pimples. The best way to clear this plug is through the use of BHA's (Beta-hydroxy acid), one well known and highly available on is Salicylic Acid which is widely available in many face washes. The best concentration is 1.5-2.0%. the thing to remember though is that when washing your face you need to keep the soap solution on your skin for about a minute, and it needs to remain wet. What I do is wet and lather up my face, then start brushing my teeth, after about a minute I wash off the soap. This extra time makes a big difference because it will clear away the plugs (blockages) on the surfaces of your pores.

3)(Optional)Clear away the inner plug - Sometimes the mixture of dead skin and sebum extends below the surface of the skin into the pore itself. To get at this use AHA (alpha hydroxy acids) of which the best is glycolic acid. AHA's are stronger and can clear out this gunk. Apply after you wash your face in a liquid solution with a cotton pad by dabbing on, or it could be in a cream. The concentration should be about 5%. After applying, leave it on for five minutes and then wash it off, you will begin to feel a slight stinging, this means that the solution has penetrated the plug and has reached the interior of your pore. That is a really good thing because now the medicated cream you will apply can get to where it needs to go!

4) Apply the acne fighting ingredient- Okay so everything up until now has been to provide the optimal conditions for your main acne fighting ingredient to get where it needs to go by penetrating deep down into your pore to fight the infection that is causing your pimple in the first place. Time and again what has been proven to be one of the most trusted and effective acne fighting ingredients in benzoyl peroxide. The best concentration to get is 2.5%. While you may think that 10% max strength would be the best its not, it causes over drying of the skin which leads to more of the dead skin clogging your pores. Additionally 2.5% has been proven to be just as effective in eliminating bacteria. Even if you have tried benzoyl peroxide before and it didn't work as well as you wanted, you haven't tried it with all the other steps combined. The best cream I have used contains both benzoyl peroxide and tea tree which works excellent and keeps my skin clear. The tea tree oil is not essential but will add some extra acne fighting power to your regimen due to its potent antibacterial effects.

5) Soothe your skin and keep it moisturized- After the benzoyl peroxide cream dries, about 3 minutes apply a moisturizer. Go for an organic mixture that still supplies antioxidant and antibacterial ingredients, while still leaving your skin soft and supple refreshed and clear. The best one I have tried is available above, it contains aloe vera and green tree for maximum anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. It also wears extremely well under makeup and will never clog your pores or make your skin feel heavy.

So to sum it up, we have the synergistic effect of the internal and external. Elimination of the bad foods (fried, sugary), intake of the good foods (spirulina), unclogging of the pore (salicylic acid, glycolic acid-if necessary) and attacking the acne bacteria with benzoyl perozide and finally calming the skin again with the organic cream. All the products you will need are available below from amazon at the best prices you can get. Go for it! clear your skin!!
